Éowyn’s wind speeds are comparable with the most infamous storms of recent years and decades.
In 1939, Adelaide endured 13 straight days of extreme heat – residents’ diaries from the time reveal old-fashioned cooling strategies.
Reports of a rare summer La Niña are premature. It is also foolish to look at such climate drivers in isolation. But seasonal forecasting is becoming more complicated as the planet warms.
Much of the country is sweltering under extreme heat that was very well forecast. But seemingly minor factors can make a big difference to what happens on the day.
Get set for a hotter and wetter summer this season in Australia. The long-range forecast from the Bureau of Meteorology today points to above average rainfall, especially in December, and warmth.
The northern lights have been interpreted in many ways down the centuries - from portents of political upheaval to signs of religious revival.
Months of hot and dry weather, with only 23mm of rain recorded over seven months, drove some species to seek food and water in the city.
Clouds affect Earth’s weather and climate in many ways. New research suggests that the presence of microplastic particles could alter these processes.
New research on the European Little Ice Age in England has upended established narratives and provided a window into an era of climatic instability not too different from our own.
The municipality of Jasper is located within a national park, making for a unique situation regarding land ownership and planning.
Months of wet weather have created the perfect conditions for a fungal bonanza.
These powerful ‘rivers in the sky’ provide a huge share of annual precipitation in many regions, including California. They can also melt sea ice, with global climate implications.
Planet-scale oscillations in the atmosphere can wreak havoc with rainfall in Australia’s north, according to new research.
People’s moods and decisions can be affected by changes in weather and seasons. Research shows that relatedly, our moral values can also be influenced by seasonal changes.
Climate change disrupts community stability, especially when it leads to food shortages and displacement. Governments must work with communities to set up policies to prevent this.
Signs of this potential La Niña are emerging fairly late. But new research may help make predictions earlier.
As a record-hot summer comes to a close, an atmospheric scientist explains how global warming drove long periods of extreme heat.
Climate change is contributing to larger rainfalls throughout Canada, and aging urban infrastructure is unable to keep up. Blue-green infrastructure updates can help to flood-proof cities.
With new temperature records being broken year-on-year, it may seem tempting to assume that the world will only get warmer. This is a false assumption, as warming is occurring, but it can be stopped.
